Eden EGRW 264

I had a rehearsal with a twenty voice mail choir, keyboardist and drummer today. That little EX110 speaker really works well! I am really shocked at how much bottom it has. It is better than my old Markbass combo which was no slouch at all. My church is pretty small, and need nothing else in terms of power or cabs. What is really cool is that these mini rigs are around $650 give or take $20, significantly cheaper than a Markbass, and about the same as a Promethean with way more bottom.

I have also worked it a bit more, and I have been able to get life into my G string. In addition to the bass, the EGRW 264 can deliver a nice mid heavy punchy tone that works really well if you want to cut without a heavy bottom. What is really cool is that this cab allowed me to get a really nice old school r&b tone for a Southern Gospel tune were are doing tomorrow. It made my TRB5II sound like something that would be used Muscle Shoals!:bassist:

Which MB combo are you comparing it to? A cmd 121p? I played a 121p today and loved it, but I don't want a combo. Can you get the same uncolored sound and transparency with the Eden cab?

I was referring CMD 121P. It is my favorite combo of all time. I am simply going to have to pick one up again. Personally, I would go with a Hartke cab over an Eden. It has better performance and is cheaper.
 
An eden ex112 runs about $250 while most places have hartke hydrive 112s for 400. A MB ny 121 runs 500 (my assumption is that the ny 121 will sound similar to the cab of the cmd 121p). I plan on running whatever I get with a peavey ipr 1600 which is why i dont want a combo. I plan on using my tone hammer as a preamp. Know of anywhere in St. Louis where i could the hartke or eden cabs? Just got back from the bridgeton gc.
 
I know this thread is kinda old but I have question for Eden vs the promethean 110 combo. I understand the tone of the 2 heads are very different but I may be able to pick up a use promethean combo and eden ex110 pretty cheap used. Would this little stack maybe give the best best of both worlds as far as tone goes?
